Caption this moonbat protest - 'Stop the Army’s child recruitment program'
IndyBay.com ^ | 8/6/08 | Jeff Paterson

"SAN FRANCISCO (August 6, 2008) – About 50 anti-war activists targeted the video game maker Ubisoft today to “help stop the Army’s child recruitment program” in the form of the free “America’s Army” game. Organizers noted that the game “targets children as young as 13” while South Park game companies Ubisoft, Gameloft, and Secret Level were profiting from the illegal recruitment program.

“America’s Army”—available since 2002 as a free download—is a game developed by the U.S. military to instruct players in “Army values,” portray the army in a positive light, and increase potential recruits. The “game” is the property and brainchild of the US Army, which admit freely, and with pride, that it is one of their principal recruitment tools.

(snip)

The military recruitment of children under the age of 17, however, is a clear violation of international law (the U.N. Optional Protocol on the Involvement of Children in Armed Conflict).

WOW! I had never heard of the game before I saw this report on those protesting against it.

I’m going to have to download it and let my son play it.

The UN law these idiots are trying to use was because the African Countries with “liberation armies” were LITERALLY - ACTUALLY- FOR REAL taking children as young as 10-11 and giving them weapons and using them as “soldiers.
But hey moonbats lie about everything else wwhy not about this......

Getting someone interested in the Army is not equivalent to recruiting him. The U.N. is referring to children being made into actual soldiers in actual armies. That these freaking UNophiles can’t make the distinction underscores the fact that they also vote for such fellow freaks as Kerry and Obama.

The last line about lifelong feelings of overwhelming guilt cracks me up, in light of how moonbats are militant supporters of abortion.

Can't you just FEEL the moral relativism?

And the more the left prates: “Upturn the Popular Paradigm” in the Bay Area; the more their own children follow such instruction, and become conservatives.

“War doesn't change anything! How many times have we heard the claim from self-righteous leftists protected by their betters?

“Tell the dead in Georgia that war changes nothing. Tell it to the 100,000 or so people driven from their homes. For that matter, tell it to Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin - he may finally crack a smile....

"Putin believes in force. Just because we don't share his values doesn't mean he's going to see the light. (Imagine a President Barack Obama pitted against Putin - the Left’s new messiah would be gobbled up in one bite.)

"Putin doesn't think we're naive fools. He knows it." -- Ralph Peters, 8/20/08




The presumptive Democrat nominee for president, Barack Obama,
has yet to address the invasion of Georgia by Putin on his website.

Everyone reading this thread, download a copy of the game, burn it to a CD, and give it to a friend.

The more it catches on, the more irrelevant the whining by these fat parasites becomes.

Is this protest group organized in any way? I’d like to send them an e-mail thnaking them for pointing out that this exists, because without their efforts, I would have4 never known about it.

LMAO, the more they protest, the more they help the ARMY spread the good word and recruit. Fools.

One of you with a Photo Shop or similar program . . . idea: Using a photo of an unborn baby, put the baby in fatigues and a helmet and an AK 47 in his hands and have the baby say "Life is not a Game" or "It's a War out there" or something similar.

The one on the Left looks a lot skanky. I mean, EEEWWW! Sort of like a derelict shrimp boat aground in a salt marsh, downwind from a paper factory.

It doesn't seem like he/she/it has washed since the Carter administration...

How about a game with a bit more realism... where terrorists round up and slaughter millions of minorities, homosexuals, and liberals... the game concludes with the survivors begging America for help.

Never mind, Most kids would rather play "Grand-Theft-Auto" where they get points for murder, theft, and rape. Any Liberals ever protest that game?

Our army? None.

In the North Vietnamese army during the Vietnam war?
In the Palestinian wars against Israel?
In the "insurgents" war against the newly established Iraqi government?

You'll have to ask these enemies of the state why their side always recuits little kids.

I see war wounded every day, I have friends who have been to Iraq, and I *still* am planning on making the Army my career. Yeah, stupid liberals, there are PLENTY of people who CHOOSE to serve their country, knowing that this is a high risk job. We don’t talk about the risks so much as the OPPORTUNITIES. Because it’s an honor to serve—not that libs know anything of honor, or of what it takes to keep them free to act like idiots.

Oh, yeah, my husband knew the development team who put that game together. I’d like to play it sometime, I’ve not had the chance. I even have it on CD somewhere.
